Associated Press Dispatches to the HEBALD
WASHINGTON, June l2--The follow.
ing is partial synopsis of the Signal
Service weather crop report for the
week ending June lst: Over all the
agricultural districts the weather during
the week has been apparently favorable
for the important crops. A marked de-
fciency of temperature occurred in the
local section, of secondary importance
as regards staples. South of the 39th
parallel, where presumably grain har.
vesting is now general, the weather
has been favorable for that work, as no
general rains have fallen or high winds
occurred, while sunshine has been at
or above the average. Local rains have
fallen during the past eight hours, and
are predicted from Minnesota eastward
to Michigan, where they will be timely
and beneficial to the growing crops.

writes:
My Deer Col. Dick: l have long
determined TO make public the origin OF
the greenback, and tell the world that
it is one of Dick Taylor's creations.
You had always been friendly to me,
and when troublous times fell on US,

willing, were weak, and myself sur.
rounded by such circumstances and such
people that l knew not whom to

will know what to do" l think it was
in January. 1862, on or about the 10th,
that did so. You came. and | said TO
you: "What can we do?" Said you:
''Why, issue Treasury notes bearing no
interest, printed on the best banking
paper. Issue enough to pay off the
army expenses and declare it legal ten.
der" Chase thought it hazardous
thing, but we finally accomplished
it, and gave to the people of
this Republic the greatest blessing
they ever had-their own paper to pay
their own debts. 1t is due to you, the
father of the present greenbock, that
the people should know it, and l take
great pleasure in making it known.
How MANY times have I lauphad at Won

be anything but lawyer.

cantharides. Fully thousand people
in Trenton are at present nursing blisters
caused by this insect, and lights in resi-
dences at night have been almost aban-
doned for fear of attracting the poison
